"Still challenging himself, Magic Mike unfolds a new era. Unlike the past booty-bass beats, the emergence of "Magic's Kingdom" offers tracks like "Do What I Gotta Do", "Is It Good To You" and "Rid Wit Me" revealing a never-before-seen Magic Mike both lyrically and musically. A sure-fire club and radio favorite will be the high-spirited first single, "Groove On" featuring former Shalimar songster Howard Hewitt. "One day I was listening to an oldies radio station and the song 'Night To Remember' came on. For the rest of that day, I hummed the melody. It took me every bit of a year to find Howard Hewitt, but once we connected it was magic." It's an innovative track that will have heads bobbin' and reminiscing about good times past. Magic Mike says the track "Check Me Out Y'all" brought him to the realization of what deejaying has become versus where it used to be. The instrumentally scratched track ferociously reminds listeners of the artists' phenomenal skills. Much like DJ competitions the world over, Mike leaves the listener panting for more. Overall, "this album is the closest representation of who I am. I don't want people to look at my name and think bass only. Because even before I started doing bass music, I was a hip hop head and will forever be." Adds Mike, "Magic's Kingdom" gave me the opportunity to talk about things I've wanted to discuss for my entire career.""
